Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) Training |
The Department of Army, The Procurement Technical Assistant Centers (PTAC), The US Small Business Administration (SBA) and Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) are collaborating to facilitate the implementation of the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) system to support electronic invoice and receiving report processing. As we implement the government side of this system, we are strongly encouraging our vendors to begin using WAWF as well. This will lead to the eventual elimination of the paper flow of documents associated with the receipt and acceptance business practice.

Why use WAWF? In 2001, the government passed a law stating that all vendors doing business with the Department of Defense must use an electronic method for submitting invoices and supporting documentation (Public Law 106-398). In 2003, the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) was updated to include DFARS Clause 252.232.7003. This clause requires the use of electronic invoicing tools and has been inserted into many of the contracts you currently hold with the government.
